Whats everyone's thoughts about Steve McLaren coming back to the club?

Sounds like he is to form part of the backroom staff.

Not really sure. Depends on his role etc.

Hasn't he been out of football for awhile?

Let’s hope he brings his Brolly with him.

If EtH wants him to be included (and they have a previous relationship with him from FC Twente) then it can only be a good thing. Someone he trusts, who has previous experience of the club and who also is highly regarded historically as a coach (not manager) .
Will mean that he is getting his own staff, will likely mean Phealen is leaving. Ultimately EtH needs to be given everything he wants to be successful and if this is happening then the footballing side of the club is learning and not weighing them down with what's already there.

Its not a bad thing- he won't be the latest bright young thing a lot of fans want - but ETH trusts him it will be his appointment and with all the flak he will take from the media from day one its important to have that small band of people along with RR he feels comfortable with.

Only concern its another link to SAF - but feels less of a problem than Oles constant reference to the gaffer shtick.

Can imagine at least one more coach to come in that has ETH shared vision for style of play et cetc

Also few more quotes from ETH today saying he was enthused by the UTD delegation he met, he's on the same wavelength etc etc and he wouldn't have joined if he thought he couldn't come in and do a job for people not sharing his vision . -encouraging. no mention of meetign the Glazers so far.

Under the current structure as I understand it there would be no compelling reason as to why he would or should meet the glazers.
If eth wants me claren then it's a good appointment if it happens.
Really looking forward to the window closing so we can reduce the amount of nonsense and concentrate on football.

FZZ it's a pet hate of mine too.
Too many dopes jumping on the click bait then slagging off the club for not signing players they have no interest in, in the 1st place.
It never ceases to amaze me all the expertise we have on here.

I’ve given up on predicting anything about this club. I though RR would get us top four and felt sure he could get these players playing with verve. He’s turned out to be a bang average manager (albeit hampered by players downing tools) . McLaren? Ten Hag? Who knows what’s going to transpire. I am at best mildly optimistic.

I like hearing opinions on players we should sign and why, peoples reasoning is always interesting whether I agree or not.

I do agree that it's amusing to see anger at us not signing someone that was mentioned online or in a paper as being available.

If ETH wants maclaren then it’s a fantastic appointment! Simple as that! Manager getting who he wants!
